What books have change or influence your view in life? (Must be at least 18 of age)?
I have asked myraid of friends and strangers this question and most don't have a clue? Just wondering do people still read books anymore. Anyways, the top 10 books I have read so far would have to be Tipping Point, Freakeconomics, The Tao of Pooh, Catch-22, Tuesday with Morrie, The Game, Ecology of Commerce, Art of Happiness, What Smart Students Know, and The Ape in the Corner Office. So what are the top 10 books that shape your life any why? Have fun :)!
Answers:
Out of all books (yes, i still read old fashioned books), I'd have to say Wayne Dyer's "Real Magic" has most influenced me. In a close second is "Feeling Good : The New Mood Therapy" by David Burns, M.D.. It is about twenty years old, but about 90 % of what is says still is true.
Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451.
Many, many books have helped shape my values and beliefs but I would say "The Four Agreements" was the most life changing, in recent years anyway.
Peace.

tipping pint and catch-22 , would also be on my list, i would also add The Razors Edge, ha and probably LSAT-180 (more of an affect on my life rather than my view on life. which will probably intern affect my view on life eventually) I try to take something from every book.
